Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining whether an encoder of a borehole tool (50) is jammed are disclosed. The borehole tool has a motor (100) with a drive shaft (102, 124) which is coupled to and drives an encoder, a position sensor (110) coupled to the motor for sensing the position of the motor, and a microprocessor (91) coupled to the position sensor (110) and to the motor in a feedback loop, with the microprocessor (91) controlling the movement of the motor based on the sensed position of the motor and the desired position of the motor (100). The method for determining jamming includes: determining, at a first plurality of times, positions of the motor from the position sensor; determining position errors of the motor from the positions of the motor and desired positions of the motor as determined by the microprocessor; and determining whether the encoder is jammed based on whether the position error exceeds a threshold value. In determining jamming, the microprocessor (91) can also determine the rotational velocity of the motor (100), and account is taken of whether the motor velocity exceeds a threshold velocity at a time when the position error exceeds its threshold value.

Abstract: In an electric connector including a first connector half having a plurality of terminals, a second connector half having a plurality of corresponding terminals and a pair of leaf springs secured to opposite side walls of the first connector half for detachably coupling said first and second connector halves with each other, each of said leaf spring has formed integrally therewith fitting portion, bent portion, unlocking portion, intermediate portion, end portion in which a locking aperture is formed, and reinforcing portion having one end connected to a junction between the bent portion and the unlocking portion. The fitting portion is secured to the first connector half and the other end of said reinforcing portion is resiliently urged against a side wall of the first connector half. When the second connector half is inserted into the first connector half to connect said terminals with each other, a locking projection formed on a side wall of the second connector half is inserted into the locking aperture to attain a locking condition of the first and second connector halves. When the unlocking portion of the leaf spring is pushed toward the side wall of the first connector half, the end portion is moved away from the side wall of the second connector half such that the locking projection is removed from the locking aperture to release the locking condition. The reinforcing portion increases the resiliency of the leaf spring to prevent an accidental unlocking and to insure a positive displacement of the end portion upon unlocking.

Abstract: A knife blade (10) and knife blade assembly are disclosed for cutting food products into sticks or slices without causing surface cracking. The knife blade has a cutting portion (12a) defining a cutting edge (12d) and is mounted in the knife assembly such that a tension force is exerted on the knife blade in the plane of the cutting edge. The cutting edge of the knife blade is not sharp, but is generally flat and extends between parallel sides of the knife blade. The individual knife blades are formed of stainless steel and are electro-polished to remove any surface defects or sharp edges which may produce stress concentrations. This enables a significant tension force to be applied to the knife blade without diminishing its useful life. The electro-polishing process may also round off the corners of the juncture between the flat cutting edge and the parallel knife blade sides.

Title: Optical converter
Inventor: URAKAMI TSUNEYUKI C O HAMAMATS
IPC: G02F1/35
Filed: 1993-09-16
Abstract: An optical converter is so arranged that light to be measured and probe light are made to interact with each other on a nonlinear element and that mixed light produced by the interaction is detected, which is characterized in that an energy amount of interacting signal light is kept as high as possible without spatial expansion of signal light, which could lower the SN ratio. For this, the time-space conversion function is achieved by a method for producing the probe light. Namely, the optical converter comprises (a) a nonlinear element for making two types of light interact with each other to cause the nonlinear optical effect, (b) a device for guiding light to be measured to the nonlinear element, and (c) a device for producing probe light crossing the light to be measured on the nonlinear element and changing a traveling direction of probe light with change of crossing time. A light waveform measuring apparatus or an optical serial-parallel converter may be attained by adding to the optical converter (d) a device for detecting mixed light produced by the interaction between the signal light and the probe light on the nonlinear element.

Abstract: Disclosed are abrasive wiping articles, e.g., nonwoven, preferably paper towels, which comprise an absorbant nonwoven substrate having printed thereon a cured scrubbing bead mixture which comprises a) certain carboxylated, ionically-charged polymeric abrasive particles, b) a carboxyl group-containing polymeric adhesive material, and c) an amino-epichlorohydrin, e.g., Kymene TM , cross-linking agent. The polymeric abrasive particles range in size from about 20 to 400 microns and have a Knoop hardness of from about 4 to 25. The polymeric adhesive material, upon curing, has a Knoop hardness of from about 0.5 to 17. Preferred wiping articles of the foregoing type have a pattern of the scrubbing bead mixture printed onto from about 20% to 70% of the surface area of a paper substrate with the abrasive particles affixed to the substrate in such a manner that their exposed portion extends for a distance of from about 40 to 300 microns above the surface of the paper substrate. Wiping articles of this type are especially useful for removing soil and stain from hard surfaces with the polymeric scrubbing particles thereon being especially resistant to removal during use. Also disclosed is a process for preparing abrasive wiping articles as hereinbefore described. Such a process involves printing a pattern of the scrubbing bead mixture onto the paper substrate, drying the printed substrate and then curing the solid components of the scrubbing bead mixture to affix the abrasive scrubbing particles to the substrate. Curing of the particular scrubbing bead mixture employed can take place at room temperature.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for drying of a cellulosic fibrous structure having constant basis weight and/or density or multiple regions varying in basis weight and/or density. Such a cellulosic fibrous structure may have a nonuniform moisture distribution prior to drying by the disclosed method and apparatus. An equally or more uniform moisture distribution is achieved by providing a micropore medium in the air flow path which has a greater flow resistance than the interstices between the fibers in the cellulosic fibrous structure web. The micropore medium is the limiting orifice in the air flow used in the drying process. The micropore medium may be executed in a laminate of plural laminae, each of successively increasing or decreasing pore size. This arrangement provides the advantage that minimal sagging or deformation of each lamina into the next coarser lamina occurs and lateral air flow between the micropore medium and the cellulosic fibrous structure is reduced. The micropore medium may be disposed either upstream or downstream in the air flow path of the cellulosic fibrous structure to be through-air dried.
